New Mexico Shooting: 18-year-old gunman was later gunned down

During a news briefing, the police provided information that the 18-year-old gunman was gunned down by responding officers outside a church after the incident.

According to the police, both injured officers, one from the Farmington Police Department and the other from the New Mexico State Police, were reported to be in stable condition at San Juan Regional Medical Center.

The conditions of the remaining four injured civilians were undisclosed at the time of reporting.

Security lockdowns were implemented after the incident
